How Nutella is made

Processes of making the Nutella:

1. Firstly, the cocoa powder is taken from the cocoa bean.
2. The cocoa beans are roasted to make the cocoa bean into liquid form.
3.  The liquid is then sent into presses where the butter is squeezed out of the cocoa bean which then forms circular discs of cocoa.
4. Next is the hazelnuts. The hazel nuts are firstly inspected to ensure they are suitable for processing. They are then chopped, cleaned and roasted
5. Next a blast of air blows the hazelnuts to ensure all of the bad ones are removed
6. The cocoa powder is then mixed with the hazelnuts and the sugar, vanillin and skimmed milk are added also and it is all mixed together until it forms a spread. The palm oil and whey powder is added after this process
7.  Vanillin is then added to enhance sweetness.
8. The product is then packaged and shipped out.
